Off the mediocre tourista Mecca of Grant Street, Great Eastern
was recommended by a Chinese waiter at the (defunct) New Joe's.
He said it was frequented by Chinese locals and sure enough, I
was the only non-Chinese! Little if any English spoken, I still
managed to get what I wanted. Great Eastern specializes in seafood
and they do very well. Whole fish is popular as well as various
seafood soups. A notch way above the tourist restaurants in Chinatown.

Best Indian food in SF. If you like your vindaloo nuclear, let
them know not to hold back or they will pedestrianize it. Fabulous
tandoori items. Go for the mixed tandoori appetiser. Friendly
and competent waitstaff. Take a taxi, parking non-existant.

Go fo the dim sum. If you don't read or speak Chinese you won't be
able to order off the menu. With the dim sum you can just point,
smile, and nod! Considerably better than the tourist places
on Grant Street.

Being on Pier 39 one might expect this to be tourista and there
are tourists, but this is an exception. Some of the best seafood
in SF with a great view to match. Some of the best chowder in the
city (Original Joe's not withstanding). Expensive but not overpriced
considering.

Not the best Indian food in SF, but perhaps the most unique setting!
Bar in front has juke box that is easily heard from the dining room.
Nothing like eating Vindaloo while you're listening to the Doors
sing Light My Fire! Decent food and colorful menu. Good tandoori.

If this wasn't "original" it could well be retro! Booth seating
with food counter. Sit at the counter and marvel at the chefs preparing
the dishes. Great sourdough bread starts things off (duh!) Admirable
Italian food but the steaks are a surprise! Excellent beef and
grilled to perfection. Some of the best clam chowder in the country.
Caesar salad can be counted on for crisp cold greens and pungent
dressing. The Joe's hamburger is not to be believed! Fork up the
extra $1.25 to have it charbroiled. Only fault, it's in a BAD area
of town. Take a cab!

If you?re staying in the vicinity of Union Square, this is a fun
place to have breakfast. Sit at the counter and watch the cooks
and waitresses do their thing! Watch 20 pounds of hash browns
go on the grill. How do they keep those over easy eggs from sticking
on that no non-stick grill? Coffee?s hot and food?s cheap and
in San Francisco, the latter makes Pinecrest a real find!

Well prepared (although generally overpriced) American food
presented with flare and good service. Most however, go for the
view and the revolving aspects. If that?s the case, one is better
off going to the Nana Grill. You?ll get a more exciting menu and
a better view.

Throwback to the 40?s for Chinese food. Reminiscent of one of
the myriad of tourist Chinese restaurants on Grant Street in
Chinatown San Francisco. Plastic renditions of the various
dishes in the display case amusing. Once one of the premier Chinese
restaurants in the Dallas area, Bobo is victim of a time warp syndrome.
Chinese restaurants are now prolific in the DFW area, and Bobo
has not kept up with the times.

Typical ?canned? restaurant with theme, a bar that makes up a
high percentage of the revenue, a fairly successful attempt
at satisfying food with some standouts, but most of all, NOISE!
Spend one hour here, and you?ll have a horse voice from trying
to be heard, and ringing ears. Decent barbeque and above average
?bar food? items such as onion rings and jalapeno poppers.

Women?s comfort food. Pastas, petite sandwiches, and salads
make up the majority of this menu that could practically be called
?health food?. Good service. Popular with the McKinney Ave.
mid to high-rise crowds. Crowded for lunch weekends.

Second expansion attempt by Snyder Plaza stalwart. Food similar
to the Hillcrest original, but more of a ?fast-food? feel. Same
quality thin burgers and famous ?secret? fries (Cavenders Seasoning).
Light years ahead of McDonald?s or Burger King!

Famous for years. Frequented by everyone from panhandlers to
highest and the mightiest of white collar. The epitome of home
cooking in Dallas. Famous homemade pies and know throughout
the universe for their chicken fried steak. Reviewed on Best
Of on the Food TV Network.
